Break columns of words to side by side

Post by wa0goz »

Running WIN7 Pro and Textpad 5.42

I remember in the past that if I had a long column of words, I could break the column and place the parts side by side. I can't remember how to do that now and I would appreciate someone telling me how to do it.

I found it.

Change configure from word wrap to block select mode. Highlight the portion to be moved, left click on cut and move the cursor to where you want it moved
to, and left click on paste and the portion will be moved.

Now I can get from here:

123
456
789
123
456
789
abc
def
ghi
abc
def
ghi

and end up with this:

123 abc
456 def
789 ghi
123 abc
456 def
789 ghi
